It Takes a Community to Keep Kids in School
At KKIS, our work is made possible not just by students—but by the entire community that surrounds and supports them. Volunteers who give their time. Sponsors who fund scholarships. Families who persevere. And staff members who guide the mission every day.
This page is for them—for the quiet heroes, the tireless doers, the generous givers who make it all happen.
How the Program Works
The Stories That Fuel Our Mission
Behind every successful student is a network of people who show up, consistently, compassionately, and without asking for recognition. These are their stories.
Volunteer Voices
Whether they live in Playa full-time or visit seasonally, KKIS volunteers bring energy, heart, and hands-on support.
Sponsor Voices
Sponsors fund the future—literally. Many choose to support a student from high school through university, receiving updates and watching as a young person transforms.
Family Voices
We also honor the quiet strength of the families who support KKIS scholars through difficult conditions and long odds.
Staff Voices
Our local team makes this mission possible, showing up daily to mentor, teach, and guide hundreds of students.
Why These Stories Matter
Our impact is measured not just in numbers, but in names, faces, and lives changed. Community Stories build trust, show transparency, and reflect the heart of our mission.
These aren’t just profiles, they’re proof that education is a shared responsibility, and that together, we’re making it happen.
